Football

The way Terry's been playing for Chelsea lately I can see Jagielka making a late shout(he's making his return against SP Lisbon tonight) cos he pisses all over Lescott, Upson and Brown

I know he was on the wrong side of a 3-0 beating by Man U on Tue night but this boy was having a blinder. Senior team for sure by next Euros

i think Phil Nevile. we should only play with him at the back, no-one else..

Saha gets into French squad
First international call-up since 2006 apparently...

Arsenal are after Dutch star Christian Eriksen. he looks very good!

The inevitable has happened.

What are the chances of the FA and/or Premier League carrying out a full investigation and then [s]brushing it under the carpet in the hope that no-one notices[/] actually putting proper rules and safeguards in place when it comes to club ownership? How any league can style itself as 'the best league in the world' and yet allow a club to go into adminstration is beyond me.

It's OK, Leighton Baines'll do just fine

was just thinking that... he's been pretty good for your mob and can take a decent free kick too

I blame that saggy faced cunt Redknapp. Buying duff players and paying them £75k a week. John Utaka - cost £11.5m, on £80k a week and scored 4 league goals in 3 seasons. Nice return....

Tonight's FIVER:

SUMMER WITH LEATHERFACE

Despite the British media embarking on an almost gynaecological level of intrusion into the privacy of Vanessa Whoever, Increasingly Exposed John Terry and Wayne Bridge, the precise details and timing of the interaction between that trio is still not altogether clear to the Fiver, and for that we are thankful. All we can say for sure is that Bridge seems proper peeved about the whole thing, so much so that the prospect of spending half his summer in the company of Terry holds about as much appeal as a lumberjack expedition with Leatherface. And so Bridge, possibly with sighs, has ruled himself out of the World Cup.

"I have thought long and hard about my position in the England football team in the light of the reporting and events over the last few weeks," exhaled Bridge. "It has always been an honour to play for England. However, after careful thought I believe my position in the squad is now untenable and potentially divisive."

Fabio Capello, who may have thought that £6m a year for telling players where to kick a ball was a very generous deal indeed but has in recent months come to the painful realisation that it also demands certain Dr Ruth qualities, can react to this announcement in several ways. The first option is to grab Bridge by the scruff of the neck with one hand, slap him vigorously across both cheeks with the other and bellow "pull yourself together, man!" Another would be to pave the way for Bridge to return by ejecting Terry instead, thus emulating Michel Higaldo, the France manager who left the midfielder Jean-Francois Larios out of the 1982 World Cup after rumours surfaced that he had parked his car in Michel Platini's space.

Larios had been Platini's team-mate at Saint-Etienne and would have been the ideal man to bring on in the epic semi-final against West Germany, and thus it is often said that his exclusion sabotaged France's World Cup hopes. So that, on reflection, is perhaps not a particularly relevant parable for Capello to draw on, given that England's best left-back in Ashley Cole's absence, Leighton Baines, is still available. What's more, though he has no previous at international level, he does have experience of playing alongside England's best available centre-back, Phil Jagielka.

it's the fucking fiver.
a comedy tea timely (ish) email.

Ok... who saw the 3rd from Sporting tonite!?
AHAHAHA!.
Sorry Pisti ; P

It seems that Hilario is living up to his name

Get in there City!
this keeps up and Arsenal could walk away with the silverware..

maybe i'll wait till after Stoke before i post this, that or stay logged in as Sof

Massacre...

Chelsea are fucked, out of form and internal discipline in tatters.

Stones... Glass houses...

This Ramsay injury sounds grim, shades of Eduardo's leg break apparently. :-(

What's the score?

Come on Stoke!

1-1. Stoke down to ten men as Shawcross has been sent off for the tackle on Ramsey. He (Shawcross) was in tears as he left the pitch. Sky aren't showing the replay as the images are 'horrific and upsetting'. Bleak.
